A person who uses the SAM to describe themselves may experience different types of attraction as distinctive and decide to label the attractions separately. SAM/Split Attraction Model - A model used to make a distinction between experiences of attraction depending on certain characteristics, conceptualizing them as different types of attraction.Amatonormativity - The widespread assumption that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term coupled relationship, and that everyone is seeking such a relationship.Non orientation based terms used by aromantic people include (keep in mind that not every aromantic person will use these terms): There are many other, more specific terms, that people prefer to identify with. Some aromantic people desire relationships while some are extremely romance/relationship adverse, some like affection while some are touch adverse, some want platonic/queerplatonic partner while some don't, some experience sexual attraction while others don't there is no correct way to aromantic.Īromanticism, like many other orientations, is a spectrum. Many aromantic people experience things like an aversion to romance, disinterest in romantic relationships/what they consider romantic affection or little to no understanding of romantic relationships.Īromantic people can experience other forms of attraction besides romantic, like, aesthetic, platonic, queerplatonic, sensual, sexual and more. While aromantic itself can be used as a stand alone term and identity, there is a spectrum of other identities used for those experiencing attraction under specific circumstances/differently to the norm.
Aromantic people can experience no romantic attraction at all, though that is not always the case, some people either feel little romantic attraction or have attraction that fluctuates. Aromantic (often shorted to aro) is term that describes people who cannot and/or do not experience any -or only experience a small amount of- romantic attraction.
